“…Due to their highly polymorphic nature, the use of microsatellite typing for parentage control and solving the problems of questionable paternity had been advocated in almost all livestock species (Behl et al 2007, Souza et al 2012, Monies et al 2011, Jakhesara et al 2012, Kathiravan et al 2012, Brenig and Schulz 2016. Due to multiple mating nature of sows and so the probability of multiple paternity of the litter makes the use of such unambiguous paternity exclusion methodology absolutely necessary for pigs (Aguilera-Reyes 2006, Menéndez et al 2015.…”

“…Thus microsatellites are markers of choice for evaluation of genetic diversity and differentiation of closely related breeds (Takezaki and Nei 1996). Their usefulness for pedigree or parentage verification had been proven in almost all the livestock species (Glowatzki-Mullis et al 2007, Monies et al 2011, Kathiravan et al 2012, Souza et al 2012, Rahimi-Mianzi et al 2015, Yu et al 2015, Brenig and Schulz 2016. Correct parentage resolution is necessary for any breed improvement programme especially in the multiple mating species like pigs (Aguilera-Reyes et al 2006).…”

A set of 24 FAO recommended microsatellite markers was evaluated for parentage exclusion (PE) in three Indian pig types of Assamese, North-Indian and Ankamali. The genomic DNA from these three Indian pig types was amplified at these loci by polymerase chain reaction and resolved for alleles. The allelic frequency data was analysed to calculate the probability of paternity exclusion when one of the parents is to be excluded (PE1), when both the parents are to be excluded (PE2) and when only one parent is known and that is to be excluded (PE3) in these three Indian pig types using a set of minimum 5 loci and then increasing the number of loci in increments of 5 upto maximum of 24 loci. The cumulative PE1 values taking into consideration all the 24 loci varied from 1-2.07×10-10 in North Indian pigs to 1-3.95×10-11 in Ankamali pigs. The cumulative PE2 values taking into consideration all the 24 loci varied from 1-4.57×10-16 in Assamese pigs to 1-3.17×10-18 in Ankamali pigs. Similarly, cumulative PE3 values for all the 24 loci varied from 0.9999968 in Assamese pigs to 0.99999955 in Ankamali pigs. The cumulative PE values obtained, even with a set of 15 loci (CGA, IGF1, S0005, S0026, S0068, S0090, S0155, S0178, S0215, S0218, S0228, S0355, SW122, SW911, SW936), were clearly more than the required value of 0.9995 in all the three breeds with the minimum value of 0.99985 for PE3 in Assamese pigs. Clearly, this set of 15 loci or the sets with 20 or 24 loci can be safely employed for parentage exclusion purposes in the Indian pigs.

The Arabian horse ignites imagination throughout the world. Populations of this breed exist in many countries, and recent genetic work has examined the diversity and ancestry of a few of these populations in isolation. Here, we explore 7 different populations of Arabians represented by 682 horses. Three of these are Middle Eastern populations from near the historical origin of the breed, including Syrian, Persian, and Saudi Arabian. The remaining Western populations are found in Europe (the Shagya Arabian and Polish Arabian) and in America (American Arabian). Analysis of genetic structure was carried out using 15 microsatellite loci. Genetic distances, analysis of molecular variance, factorial correspondence analysis, and a Bayesian method were applied. The results consistently show higher level of diversity within the Middle Eastern populations than the Western populations. The Western Arabian populations were the main source among population variation. Genetic differentiation was not strong among all Middle Eastern populations, but all American Arabians showed differentiation from Middle Eastern populations and were somewhat uniform among themselves. Here, we explore the diversities of many different populations of Arabian horses and find that populations not from the Middle East have noticeably lower levels of diversity, which may adversely affect the health of these populations.
